Tony is electric off the bounce, dynamic in space, and absolutely lethal when the game opens up as a two-way problem that can flip a game in a matter of seconds. Tony uses fluid athleticism, a sick handle, and a confident jumper, bringing a versatile, high-energy presence on both ends of the floor. His ability to score it at all three levels, take on the toughest defensive assignments, and control the tempo of a game is what makes him dangerous. Whether he's navigating traffic to finish above the rim or timing up a block on help-side defense, there’s something wildly explosive about the way he plays. His feel is crafty, his stride is long, and when the lane opens, just clear the runway.

This season, Tony averaged 12.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.5 blocks, and just over half a steal per game, showing just how well-rounded and impactful his game already is. But his biggest improvement was his athleticism . He’s quicker, bouncier, and far more aggressive when attacking gaps and elevating at the rim. He’s becoming tougher to contain off the dribble and more consistent in punishing mismatches. And he’s not done yet. This offseason, his main focus is dialing in his shot-blocking instincts, continuing to build explosiveness, and becoming more vocal as a leader on and off the court. His growth mindset is clear: he wants to lead by example, but also be the voice his team leans on.

This summer, Tony will play with the Gulf Coast Blue Chips on the UA Rise circuit, where he'll face off with some of the nation’s best. His goals are bigger than box scores as he’s chasing feedback, accountability, and the chance to elevate his game under the big lights in front of college coaches. With events like Battle of the Brands circled on the calendar, he’s ready to go from solid to standout. And with college coaches already attending practices at GVA, his momentum is building in real time.

What fires Tony up most is a fast-break dunk. That moment where the court stretches out and he gets a chance to finish loud. It's more than hype, it’s fuel. And when things get tough, he leans into his teammates, choosing to lift others up while staying locked in. The best advice Tony has ever received is “stay consistent in the gym and take care of your body,” which is something he’s taken to heart. That consistency is paying off.

Off the court, Tony is laid-back and easygoing, but don’t let that fool you, he’s a student of the game, locked in on what it takes to be great. He knows the work doesn’t stop when the season ends or the gym closes. He enjoys his downtime but always finds his way back to the grind.

I assess that Tony is a high-level prospect who can impact a college program with his blend of athleticism, scoring ability, and defensive versatility. His size and energy allow him to guard multiple positions, and his offensive toolbox continues to grow. He’s the kind of player who, with the right structure and continued development, could turn into a major piece at the next level. He doesn’t just play fast—he thinks fast, reacts fast, and makes winning plays in big moments.

Moving forward, expect Tony’s voice to grow louder, his impact to stretch wider, and his ceiling to keep rising. He’s not just scratching the surface of his potential, he’s breaking through it. The foundation is built, and the future is looking electric. Stay tuned.
